The Henry Smith’s Charity has announced that the next deadline for its Holiday Grant for Children Programme is the 19th November 2015.

Schools, youth groups and not for profit organisations can apply for grants towards holidays or outings for children aged 13 and under who are from deprived areas or have a disability.
This deadline applies for holidays and outings taking place between the 1st September – 31st December 2015.

Applications can be considered for holidays or outings that have the objective of providing children with a break they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The maximum grant is usually £2,500 for any one trip. Grants are normally limited to a maximum of two-thirds of the total cost of a trip as the charity would expect some local partnership funding to be in place.
